Su Mu's expression became tense all of a sudden, he looked straight at the woman in front of him, and asked word by word: "Why do you think so, madam?"

Seeing his appearance, Li Qinglan was almost sure of what he was thinking, and murmured: "It's really like this..."

Su Mu looked at Li Qinglan's expression carefully from the side, and saw that the other party's face was full of regret, without any guilt, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Li Qinglan sighed softly, and said, "My lord, I have heard people mention that the disease in Jiangzhou City originated from the disease virus of Nanzhao Kingdom. Is this true?"

Seeing that there was no need to hide anything, Su Mu nodded in response.

Li Qinglan went on to say: "Wang Xing must have the virus in his hands. That night he said that he would use the rice grains from his family to help the people in the city. I thought he had changed his temper, but at midnight, I heardThere seems to be some movement in the back room."

She walked to the window and opened one of them. Outside was the storehouse used to store rice in the house, and it was full of things inside and out.

Li Qinglan turned his head slightly to the outside, and explained: "Because I didn't want to be with him, so he gave me the most remote hut, but I didn't want this to let me find out that night, he seemed to bePour something into the rice pile."

"But I didn't think about this level at that time. I heard that today...today, Aunt Sun's family in the west of the city and Uncle Liu's family who sell oil cakes are all infected with the disease. I saw them all yesterday, so I thought of it.due to this reason."

"If you don't believe me, you can dig under that jujube tree. I saw him smash a small white porcelain bottle and bury it in it." Li Qinglan bowed again, "If I think about it this way, if I can tell you earlier, maybe there won't be so many people..."

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Su Mu also felt regretful, but the outcome could not be changed now, and now she can only hope that Mrs. Bai can find a solution to the epidemic as soon as possible to save these innocent people.

"What's wrong with Ma'am and Prince?" Although Su Mu didn't really want to doubt the gentle and polite girl in front of him, the one who died now was her husband who should have been with her day and night, and Li Qinglan even showed her sadness, not to mention sadness.One or two expressions of relief were quite suspicious, so he still asked.And Yang Ke on the side had already received Su Mu's order to dig under the jujube tree at the door of the warehouse.

Li Qinglan was not annoyed, but a trace of disgust flashed across his indifferent expression, as if even recalling the past with Wang Xing made her feel unbearable: "The Wang family is the largest cloth merchant in the entire Jiangzhou city, but after ten yearsBefore, they were not the only one, there was another shop in Jiangzhou City, the Li family, that could compete equally with them."

Su Mu was slightly startled, and looked at Li Qinglan, who nodded slightly, smiled wryly for a moment, and replied: "Your Excellency, you don't know my name yet, my name is Qinglan, and my surname is Li, and I am the only one of the Li family."Female."

"When I was sixteen years old, my father began to look for a husband for me. Firstly, he hoped that I would have a lifelong trust, and secondly, he also hoped that someone could inherit the Li family's business. It was at this time that Wang Xing found him.Me." Li Qinglan shook his head slightly, biting his lips and said, "Father saw that Wang Xing was quite smart, and the Wang family is also considered a big family. If the two families marry, maybe they can combine to make the business bigger. Therefore,And he promised me to him."

"But I don't want this move to ruin the Li family completely." Li Qinglan's eyes were flushed, but she didn't shed tears. Instead, she gently reached out and stroked the silver hairpin on her head, "This is the hairpin my mother chose for me on the day I got married.At that time, I thought that we were all in the city anyway, and I could go back every day to see each other if I wanted to. I never thought that Wang Xing had already quietly emptied all of our family's business, silently and completely ruining us.home shop."

Su Mu didn't understand business matters, but he was also a little surprised by it. He thought Wang Xing was a playboy who didn't do his job properly, but he didn't expect him to have such a past.

Having said that, it seems that Li Qinglan doesn't need to finish telling the story to guess the ending of the story.

"The Li family's property was snatched away silently, and my father owed a whole body of debts. He is old and has no courage to make a comeback. In order not to implicate me, he and his mother chose a night., thrown into the moat, and the next day when I found out, it was when they... were discovered." Li Qinglan's voice trembled a little, but in the end she couldn't hold back her tears, and they fell drop by drop to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Mu was quite helpless. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he thought that this had already become an indelible memory, and it would be futile to say more, so he could only stand aside and wait quietly for Li Qinglan to calm down.

Maybe because she felt that she shouldn't cry in front of outsiders, Li Qinglan took out the handkerchief and wiped it lightly, then said apologetically, "I made you laugh."

Su Mu shook his head, and said in a gentle voice, "It's human nature, Madam's condolences."

"I didn't know about these things at first, but this person started to go out of business after that. One day, he was drunk and told me personally. At that time, I hardly knew how to deal with myself. Although my parents were not his own handsHe killed him, but he also died because of him, so how can I still be his wife." Li Qinglan shook his head slightly, "It's just that my parents have left, and there is no one in the family. Even if I want to leave, I can't do it at all.My son, I can only stay here. I thought about dying, but my grandmother is still alive in my family. After my father left, I will be her only descendant. If I am also... then my grandmother really has no hope."

"Fortunately, they didn't stop me from bringing my grandmother here, so I've survived until now." Li Qinglan laughed at himself, "It's really useless to think about it."

"Madam can keep her filial piety and ask for perfection, how can she be considered a coward?" Su Mu sighed lightly. Although he could imagine that there must be many unknown pasts between these two people, he didn't expect it to be so shocking.An embarrassing story.

At this time, Yang Ke suddenly shouted outside the window: "My lord, I found it!"

Sure enough, there was a smashed small porcelain vase under the jujube tree. Wang Xing obviously did not expect anyone to witness his actions. The hole was dug shallow, and there were even some unknown marks on the porcelain bottle.The handkerchief wrapped up the fragments.

Now that he knows the problem of Wang Xing's spontaneous combustion, it is quite convenient to investigate. Although Li Qinglan has a feud with Wang Xing, Su Mu doesn't think she will be the murderer. He has seen a flash on Li Qinglan's faceThe astonishment and horror that passed by, but this momentary expression was quickly replaced by other complicated emotions.

Perhaps it was because she had hated her for too long, she could only feel relief from Wang Xing's death.

According to Zhu Yun, Wang Xing's robe was brought back by himself a few days ago. No one knows who gave it to him. Su Mu has his own conjecture, but he urgently needs proof.But there is a place that sells fire brochures. After passing by, the answer was quickly asked.

The shopkeeper peeped out one eye from the crack of the door, and said in a low voice, "You are a young master, he is quite generous, and he almost bought all the fire folders I have here."

Su Mu subconsciously asked: "Then do you know who he is?"

He didn't realize that his question was unreasonable until the words came out. Why do people have to get to the bottom of their business? Just when he was about to say nothing, the boss suddenly shook his head and said: "I don't know who it is, but he is generous., I asked by the way, if you need to deliver it to your door, we can also deliver it."

"He pointed out a place for us." The boss frowned and thought about it carefully, then said, "It's at the inn next to the government office."

Su Mu was taken aback, isn't that where he lives?

If it's what he thinks, then this person is probably Su Qi, and he lives in the same inn with him, maybe he has passed by countless times, he turned his head slightly, and saw the ink book in the distance,He also felt that he shouldn't, it's true that he didn't know Su Qi, but Mo Shu should have seen Su Qi before, so he wouldn't fail to recognize him.

That is to say, if this is not a coincidence, then Su Qi has actually been secretly watching his every move?

Until he returned to the government office, Su Mu still felt a little inexplicable fear.

The person he thought he had disappeared was always within walking distance of him, it was really chilling.

Du Han is not in the government office, but has already gone to appease the people. Now he seems to be the life-saving straw for the people in the city. Every day, he brings the food stored in the treasury to distribute in person, although the treasury is also crumbling now.The food distributed is also limited, but compared to the starving people, it is as important as sending charcoal in the snow.

In the inn, Su Qi had already gone to the empty building. Although Su Mu was not surprised, he still felt quite frustrated.

I always seem to be one step behind. No matter what I find out, I can only rush to nothing in the end.Just thinking about this, he walked down the road a little dejectedly, and a scent of medicine came to his face, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Zhi walking with a bowl of medicine dregs.

Su Mu turned to one side and quickly moved out of the way.

Bai Zhi walked forward with a smile, shook the bowl in her hand, and said softly: "This medicine residue needs to be dealt with, it seems to have some effect."

This sentence reminded Su Mu, he quickly took out the fragments tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and handed them to Bai Zhi carefully: "This may be the fragments of the porcelain bottle that once contained the plague poison, I don't know if it canCouldn't be more helpful..."

His voice was getting weaker and weaker, and even he felt a little overpowering.

This is not a modern society that can decompose matter, so what if there are pathogens?

But he still held on to that glimmer of hope, maybe the genius doctor would have other ideas?

Bai Zhi was also stunned for a moment after receiving it, and thoughtfully said: "Maybe this can really help... If that kid is here..."

Su Mu was about to ask, but Bai Zhi suddenly raised her head and smiled slightly: "Thanks for your hard work, leave the things to me, I have to do other things now, I will leave Xuanxuan's place to your care, now heI have temporarily suppressed my illness, as long as you don't get too close, you should be fine."

Su Mu nodded in agreement, and Bai Zhi walked over like a gust of wind, leaving only a fairy-like back.

When he opened the door, he saw Liu Xiaoran still lying quietly on the bed, and Su Mu suddenly felt unspeakable emotion.

This is the first day that Liu Xiaoran has slept?

He himself can't remember how many days have passed in this oppressive atmosphere.

The stool in the room was moved outside the door by Bai Zhi, saying that the stool also needs to be exposed to the sun to be clean. Su Mu just went to many places and felt that he was very dirty, so he didn't mind, and sat directly on the footrest next to the bed.superior.

It seemed that he finally found a quiet place, he talked to himself about what happened in the past two days, Liu Xiaoran might not be able to hear it, but he needed to tell himself.

At the end, he was a little tired, so Su Mu simply lay down on the edge of the bed and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm so tired..." He was sleepy and muttered, "Why doesn't it seem like there's no end..."

It didn't take long before he was completely plunged into darkness.

And in his drowsiness, he seemed to feel that a cold hand gently pushed aside the bangs covering his eyes, and accidentally brushed against one side of his cheek.

"Huh?" He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy, and he couldn't open them no matter what.

In a blur of consciousness, a soft voice sounded softly.

"Go to sleep."

He only felt that he seemed to believe the voice very much, he hardly reacted, and fell asleep again as he said.
